As a Santa Barbara Unified parent, I am frustrated by the slow pace of technology reform and concerned about how our limited education dollars are being spent.
When I think about what a city should be, I think about our public library. It is one of the few places in town that truly belongs to everyone. That is the kind of city I want Santa Barbara to be, and it is how I will run City Hall.
We should expect accountability from our leadership and keep advocating for improvements, but we should exhaust all reasonable avenues for positive change before deciding that unionization is the best answer.
